Not Supported Re-usable Code  

On my forum, it is my belief that users need to be notified when moderator actions have been applied in a thread.
I.e. certain posts were edited, deleted, moved, or if the thread was moved, etc.

Usually I just type in blue font to distinguish such notes. However, anybody can use blue text so it was nothing special.

Well I created a fairly simple BB Code with CSS Table formatting.

It allows you to use a BB Code tag to distinguish the notes. For example, I could enter
"[moderation]This thread has been moved to the Chit-Chat section[/moderation]"
and the outcome is displayed at the bottom of this post (Attechment: Screen1.jpg)

The horizontal rule ( <hr> ) is included.

You can customize the CSS to have the dashed border display in a different color, as well as change text size, font, color, etc.

To create this BB Code:

AdminCP -> BB Code Manager -> Add New BB Code

Title:
Code:
Moderator Notes
BB Code Tag Name:
Code:
moderation
Replacement:
Code:
<hr><br>
<style type="text/css">
table.sample {
    border-width: 3px 3px 3px 3px;
    border-spacing: 2px;
    border-style: dashed dashed dashed dashed;
    border-color: green green green green;
    border-collapse: separate;
    background-color: white;
}
table.sample th {
    border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
    padding: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
    border-style: inset inset inset inset;
    border-color: gray gray gray gray;
    background-color: white;
    -moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
table.sample td {
    border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
    padding: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
    border-style: inset inset inset inset;
    border-color: gray gray gray gray;
    background-color: white;
    -moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
</style>
<table class="sample">
<tr>
        <td><fieldset><legend>Important Moderator or Administrator Note</legend><font size=3><font color=blue>{param}</font></fieldset></td>
</tr>
</table>
Example:
Code:
[moderation]important note here[/moderation]
Use Option:
Code:
No
Remove Tag if Empty:
Code:
Yes

All other settings are optional. I have also uploaded an basic letter "M" for "Moderation" to use as a button for this code. It is already resized to 21x20.

Finally, to prevent regular users from using this BB Code, install Abe1's Advanced BBCode Permissions Modification.

Hopefully I've covered everything
